Aw, I love this, thats really sweet

I dated around until I was so heartbroken and fed up, I took an intentional full year off. I focused on my friendships and family. I stuck my toe back in when I was 32.

Met my forever love on plenty of fish in 2019. I thought he was super nerdy, our first conversations were just about his cat. I had actually just became an accidental owner of my first kitty myself, so we chatted about our kitties and metal music that first day. He never was crude, he never sexted at me, he never pushed himself physically at me, he was just sweet

After about four weeks of texting all day everyday we met up. We went for a walk, and I was comfortable enough to go back to his place where we smoked weed and we talked for 6 hours. We then hung out after he got off work, and my kid went to sleep, 3-4 times a week. We’d hug goodbye and those hugs reset my soul. After about three weeks of that, he texted me after he left my house on night, “I wish I kissed you”. And next time I saw him we did. He still never pushed for sex. I really loved this after years of being treated like an object. After hanging out for about six weeks we went on a weekend getaway near by to the shore, became officially a couple and made love the first time.

The rest is history. I met him online, we’re both introverted af and idk. He said he was ready to quit the app before I messaged him. He said, “oh lord who is this girl?”. He also never (still doesn’t) want childrenm he took a gamble with me because we got along so well. And so, we clicked. He’s my favorite asshole :)

I always remained optimistic when looking for a partner, always open to new ideas. But it was clear my partner was the type who respected women, and like I said, after years trying to find the man I thought I wanted, I found the one I needed. I had always wished I could tale the best part of my exes and sew em up into the perfect man, well, he is just that. All the best parts. He is my bestest of best friends, and I’ll cherish him until I die. He really saved my life and gave my young son and I, a real family. This matters to me more than anything. I just giggle sometimes remembering I nearly wrote him off, nearly, for being such a goober that first chat, and I’m so glad I didn’t. I even love his flaws, or what he perceives as flaws, I love them, I love him.

Optimism really was what kept me going. Plus, I’m a catch ;)

I don’t know how much the online dating scene has changed the last few years, but I wish I could tell people it’s okay if you haven’t found your partner in life yet. I know folks who didn’t meet thier partners until they were 40, I know fresh divorced 29 year olds. Like, don’t rush, let it come and gather patience, if you can, inside your heart.

Are you in the states? I am, and once I started reading labels, I couldn’t believe how much sugar was in everything. From bread to jar sauce, peanut butter, fuckin, soup. Like, it’s incredible where you find sugar.

I’m fat from other stuff,mostly inactivity, but far from diabetic, and it’s because I’ve been avoiding the hidden sugars in processed and ultra processed foods for over a decade. Read the labels, get grossed out, avoid. If I’m having sugar, it’s my choice, not because they sneak 5g of sugar in a half cup of jar sauce, or 6g in a slice of bread. Know what’s sweet? Red bell peppers. Avoid sugar a week, and then have a red bell pepper. You’re taste buds will explode with its sweetness.

A number of years ago, I was about 28 years old. My neighbor was my coworker, about 25, and we were friends.

One day he was having a small get together and invited me over. About 8 people, all 21-26 years of age. They were doing dabs. I did a couple, and wanted to do something fun, a game or something. Everyone at that “party” had done so many dabs they were couch zombies, falling asleep. I left from boredom.

It was so weird to me, and sad. I hope you’re feeling better these days with your relationship to dabbing.

I joined a crafts group with my therapist solely for practicing socialization. It helps a lot more than I thought it would. I’m no artist, but it doesn’t matter for this.

What!?

If I can’t get to the store by no later than 11am on a weekday, I don’t go.

Love the quiet hours. Peak hours are brutal and no one looks happy to be there either

I don’t keep an account at all for YouTube, history off, no app, so I have to use YouTube through Firefox on my phone. I have to seek out what I am looking for. Absolutely love how impossible it is to get on with the mindless scroll this way. I’m so over algorithms force feeding bullshit.

Hibiscus tea is amazing! Agua de Jamaica

Very good on a summer day with strong flavors

“This delicious and refreshing hibiscus tea is a staple Mexican agua fresca (it’s right up there with horchata and agua de tamarindo), loved for its tart, slightly sweet flavor and stunning color.”

Ginger beer is tits. It’s expensive around here, so sometimes I’ll make a fresh ginger syrup (which stays good in the fridge forever) and add a few tablespoons to seltzer water. It’s basically the same thing and very refreshing!

Oh this process reminds me there is also sun tea!

Along the same lines, I think, I don’t know what Spindrift is, but when my hubs went sober, he started drinking 100% grapefruit juice with Seltzer (usually grapefruit flavored seltzer) on ice. He says it tastes just like IPA with it’s bitter notes. Probably a 1:2 ratio of juice:seltzer

So if you can’t get Spindrift, you can still make something similar!

I’ve been doing this with 1670 (Polish). Though, I’m not serious about learning, just dabbling in learning about the language. It’s surprisingly a very helpful tool!

Yes, but not with them eyes

I am the total opposite, if you wink at me I’m going to be wholly creeped out.
